This application claims priority of U.S. Appl. Nos. 61/182,898 (1 Jun. 2009) and 61/298,349 (26 Jan. 2010), the contents of which are incorporated herein in their entireties by this reference.

FIELD AND BACKGROUND

The present invention pertains in large part to cancer treatment, targeted therapies, certain chemical compounds, preparations, and methods of treating tumors and cancers with the compounds.

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase which plays a major role in the transduction of the signal transmitted by integrins, a family of heterodimeric receptors for cell adhesion. FAK and integrins are colocalized in perimembrane structures called adhesion plaques.

FAK signaling through ERK, PI3K, and p130cas is important in cancer cell proliferation, survival, and migration. pFAK and/or FAK overexpression has been reported in many cancer tumors. An increase in the proliferation of tumor cells in vivo has been observed after induction of the expression of FAK in human astrocytoma cells. Cary et al., J. Cell Sci., 109:1787-94 (1996). FAK is overexpressed in prostate, breast, thyroid, colon, melanoma, brain and lung cancers, the level of FAK expression being directly correlated with tumors exhibiting the most aggressive phenotype. Weiner et al., Lancet, 342(8878):1024-25 (1993); Owens et al., Cancer Res., 55:2752-55 (1995); Maung et al., Oncogene, 18:6824-28 (1999); Wang et al., J. Cell Sci., 113:4221-30 (2000). FAK is highly active in human epithelial and mesenchymal tumors such as melanoma, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Increased FAK correlates with increased invasiveness and increased ability of cancer to metastasize.

Inhibition of FAK signaling in vitro induces cell growth arrest, reduces motility, and can cause cell death. KD-FAK and DN-FAK have been shown to inhibit tumor growth in vivo. FAK is also known as PTK2.

In hepatocytes, TGFβ induces a Src-dependent activation of FAK; and there is evidence that FAK signaling is required for transcriptional up-regulation of mesenchymal and invasiveness markers and for delocalization of membrane-bound E-cadherin. Exp. Cell Res., 314, 143-52 (2008).

A number of publications disclose compounds said to possess FAK or other kinase inhibiting activity, e.g., Cancer Res., 68(6), 1935-1944 (2008), U.S. Pat. No. 6,649,608, U.S. Pat.

In some embodiments of Formula 1 or any subgenus thereof, the compound is present as a material in substantially pure form.

In some embodiments, the compound is selected from any one of the Examples herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Each variable definition above includes any subset thereof and the compounds of Formula I include any combination of such variables or variable subsets.

In some aspects, the invention includes any of the compound examples herein and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

The invention includes the compounds and salts thereof, and their physical forms, preparation of the compounds, useful intermediates, and pharmaceutical compositions and formulations thereof.

The compounds of the invention and term “compound” in the claims include any pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates, and any amorphous or crystal forms, or tautomers, whether or not specifically recited in context.

The invention includes the isomers of the compounds. Compounds may have one or more asymmetric carbon atoms can exist as two or more stereoisomers. Where a compound of the invention contains an alkenyl or alkenylene group, geometric cis/trans (or Z/E) isomers are possible. Where the compound contains, for example, a keto or oxime group or an aromatic moiety, tautomeric isomerism (‘tautomerism’) can occur. A single compound may exhibit more than one type of isomerism.

The present invention includes any stereoisomers, even if not specifically shown, individually as well as mixtures, geometric isomers, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Where a compound or stereocenter is described or shown without definitive stereochemistry, it is to be taken to embrace all possible individual isomers, configurations, and mixtures thereof. Thus, a material sample containing a mixture of stereoisomers would be embraced by a recitation of either of the stereoisomers or a recitation without definitive stereochemistry. Also contemplated are any cis/trans isomers or tautomers of the compounds described.

Included within the scope of the invention are all stereoisomers, geometric isomers and tautomeric forms of the inventive compounds, including compounds exhibiting more than one type of isomerism, and mixtures of one or more thereof.

When a tautomer of the compound of Formula (I) exists, the compound of formula (I) of the present invention includes any possible tautomers and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and mixtures thereof, except where specifically stated otherwise.

The compounds of the invention are not limited to those containing all of their atoms in their natural isotopic abundance. The present invention includes compounds wherein one or more hydrogen, carbon or other atoms are replaced by different isotopes thereof. Such compounds can be useful as research and diagnostic tools in metabolism pharmacokinetic studies and in binding assays. A recitation of a compound or an atom within a compound includes isotopologs, i.e., species wherein an atom or compound varies only with respect to isotopic enrichment and/or in the position of isotopic enrichment. For nonlimiting example, in some cases it may be desirable to enrich one or more hydrogen atoms with deuterium (D) or to enrich carbon with ¹³C. Other examples of isotopes suitable for inclusion in the compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, chlorine, fluorine, iodine, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur. Certain isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention may be useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution studies. Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Substitution with positron emitting isotopes may be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy.

Further, the compounds may be amorphous or may exist or be prepared in various crystal forms or polymorphs, including solvates and hydrates. The invention includes any such forms provided herein, at any purity level. A recitation of a compound per se means the compound regardless of any unspecified stereochemistry, physical form and whether or not associated with solvent or water.

The compounds of the invention may exist in both unsolvated and solvated forms. The term ‘solvate’ is used herein to describe a molecular complex comprising the compound of the invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable solvent molecules, for example, ethanol. The term ‘hydrate’ is employed when the solvent is water. Pharmaceutically acceptable solvates in accordance with the invention include hydrates and solvates wherein the solvent of crystallization may be isotopically substituted, e.g., D₂O, d6-acetone, d 6-DMSO.

Also included within the scope of the invention are complexes such as clathrates, drug-host inclusion complexes wherein, in contrast to the aforementioned solvates, the drug and host are present in stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts. Also included are complexes of the drug containing two or more organic and/or inorganic components which may be in stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts. The resulting complexes may be ionized, partially ionized, or non-ionized.

The invention includes prodrugs of compounds of the invention which may, when administered to a patient, be converted into the inventive compounds, for example, by hydrolytic cleavage. Prodrugs in accordance with the invention can, for example, be produced by replacing appropriate functionalities present in the inventive compounds with certain moieties known to those skilled in the art as ‘pro-moieties’ as known in the art. Particularly favored derivatives and prodrugs of the invention are those that increase the bioavailability of the compounds when such compounds are administered to a patient, enhance delivery of the parent compound to a given biological compartment, increase solubility to allow administration by injection, alter metabolism or alter rate of excretion.

A pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the inventive compounds can be readily prepared by mixing together solutions of the compound and the desired acid or base, as appropriate. The salt may precipitate from solution and be collected by filtration or may be recovered by evaporation of the solvent. The degree of ionization in the salt may vary from completely ionized to almost non-ionized.

Compounds that are basic are capable of forming a wide variety of salts with various inorganic and organic acids. The acids that can be used to prepare pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of such basic compounds are those that form acceptable acid addition salts. When the compound of the present invention is basic, its corresponding salt can be conveniently prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic acids, including inorganic and organic acids. Such acids include, for example, acetic, benzenesulfonic, benzoic, camphorsulfonic, citric, ethanesulfonic, formic, fumaric, gluconic, glutamic, hydrobromic, hydrochloric, isethionic, lactic, maleic, malic, mandelic, methanesulfonic, mucic, nitric, pamoic, pantothenic, phosphoric, succinic, sulfuric, tartaric, p-toluenesulfonic acid and the like.

Salts derived from such inorganic bases include aluminum, ammonium, calcium, copper (ic and ous), ferric, ferrous, lithium, magnesium, manganese (ic and ous), potassium, sodium, zinc and the like salts. Salts derived from pharmaceutically acceptable organic bases include salts of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, as well as cyclic amines and substituted amines such as naturally occurring and synthesized substituted amines. Other pharmaceutically acceptable organic bases from which salts can be formed include ion exchange resins such as, for example, arginine, betaine, caffeine, choline, N′,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, diethylamine, 2-diethylaminoethanol, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, ethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N-ethylmorpholine, N-ethylpiperidine, glucamine, glucosamine, histidine, hydrabamine, isopropylamine, lysine, methylglucamine, morpholine, piperazine, piperidine, polyamine resins, procaine, purines, theobromine, triethylamine, trimethylamine, tripropylamine, tromethamine and the like. Other examples include benzathine, diolamine, glycine, meglumine, and olamine.

Synthesis

The invention includes the compounds, intermediates, examples, and synthetic methods described herein.

Phosphonates:

Preparation of dialkylphosphonates may be achieved via multiple approaches. For example, one dialkyl phosphonate may be converted into another, different dialkyl phosphonate as shown in Scheme 1. Hydrolysis of a dialkylphosphonate under acidic conditions such as concentrated hydrochloric acid affords the corresponding phosphonic acid. Other acid reagents may be used to effect this transformation including, but not limited to, HBr and HBr/HOAc. The transformation may also be achieved using basic conditions, e.g., by treatment with NaOH/MeOH or through the use of reagents such as, but not limited to, TMSI, TMSBr, TMSCl/NaI and NaI in solvents such as acetone, acetonitrile, DCM, chloroform and dioxane. In the schemes, X-Y represents an appropriate aryl, aralkyl, or other moiety, as described herein, bearing the specified phosphorus group. In particular, Y corresponds to X₁ in Formula 1. Each R, Rw, Rv represents a phosphorus substituent as described and defined herein such as R9, R10 in Formula 1.

Aryl phosphonic acids may be prepared from aryl halides/triflates under transition metal catalysis through reaction with phosphinic acid adducts followed by oxidation with reagents such as perchlorate or hydrogen peroxide (Scheme 2).

The hydrolysis of a dialkylphosphonate to a phosphonic acid usually proceeds via an intermediate alkyl hydrogen phosphonate (Scheme 1) which may be isolated if the reaction is stopped before full conversion has occurred. Use of basic hydrolysis conditions in particular lends itself to effective isolation of the intermediate alkyl hydrogen phosphonate.

The phosphonic acids and alkyl hydrogen phosphonates thus obtained may be activated through a number of methods prior to reaction with alcohols to afford the desired dialkyl phosphonates, or alkyl alkylphosphinates, respectively. One method of activation includes halogenation, e.g., using reagents such as oxalyl chloride, thionyl chloride, phosphorus oxychloride and phosphorus oxybromide either neat or in appropriate solvents such as DCM and DCE. Catalytic DMF may also be added to the mixture if desired. Treatment of the phosphonic dihalides thus produced, with alcohols affords the desired dialkyl phosphonates. Another method of activation involves formation of an ‘active ester’ through reaction with reagents such as DCC and PyBOP. Those skilled in the art will appreciate the large number of other coupling reagents available for activation of phosphonic acids in an analogous manner. Use of Mitsunobu conditions, e.g., PPh₃/DEAD or equivalent reagents, is a further method of activation of the phosphonic acid/alkyl hydrogen phosphonate system, which upon treatment with an appropriate alcohol affords desired dialkyl phosphonates or alkyl alkylphosphinates, respectively. Phosphonic acids may also be converted to dialkyl phosphonates through acid catalysis, e.g., TsOH, in the presence of an alkyl alcohol.

Dialkylphosphonates may also be prepared according to the method of Michaelis-Arbuzov as shown in Scheme 3 whereby alkyl halides or sulphonates (e.g., Hal=Br, I, Cl, OMs; Y=CR⁷R⁸) are heated with trialkylphosphites.

Phosphonates bearing a P-hydrogen may be reacted with alkyl halides or sulphonates (e.g., Hal=Cl, Br, I, OMs; Y=CR⁷R⁸) in the presence of bases, including but not limited to Na₂CO₃, K₂CO₃, NaOH, Cs₂CO₃, Et₃N, DIPEA and DBU, and in suitable solvents, e.g., acetonitrile, DMF, dioxane, DMA to afford P-substituted products via SN2-type chemistries (Scheme 4). Additionally, the phosphonates bearing a P-hydrogen may be reacted with aryl halides or triflates (e.g., Hal=Cl, Br, I, OTf; Y=bond) under transition metal catalysis conditions. Examples of such conditions include but are not limited to Pd₂(dba)₃/XantPhos/Cs₂CO₃/dioxane. As with many Pd(0) or other transition metal catalyzed reactions, the choice of catalyst, catalyst ligand, base, solvent and temperature may be important variables to explore when optimizing such reactions.

Phosphinates:

Alkyl phosphinates may be prepared through many of the methods described above for alkyl phosphonates. For example, using Michaelis-Arbuzov conditions whereby an alkyl dialkoxyphosphine is reacted with an alkyl halide or sulphonate (e.g., Hal=Br, I, Cl, OMs; Y=CR⁷R⁸.)

Similarly as for phosphonates, transition metal catalyzed reactions of phosphinates bearing a P-hydrogen also afford derivatized phosphinates when reacted with aryl halides or triflates (e.g., Hal=Br, I, Cl, OMs; Y=bond). The reaction of phosphinates bearing a P-hydrogen with alkyl halides or sulphonates (e.g., Hal=Cl, Br, I, OTf; Y=Y=CR⁷R⁸) in the presence of base also proceeds via SN2 chemistry as with phosphonates (Scheme 6).

Phosphine Oxides:

Phosphine oxides may be prepared via a number of methods including through the reaction of dialkyl phosphonates with carbon nucleophiles including, but not limited to, Grignard reagents (Scheme 7).

As in the case of phosphonates and phosphinates, dialkyl phosphine oxides bearing a P-hydrogen may be reacted with alkyl halides or sulphonates (e.g., Hal=Br, I, Cl, OMs; Y=CR⁷R⁸) under basic conditions or aryl halides (e.g., Hal=Br, I, Cl, OTf; Y=bond) under transition metal catalysis to form the P-substituted derivatives (Scheme 8).

Other methods to access phosphine oxides include the oxidation of phosphines with oxidants such as, but not limited to, hydrogen peroxide (Scheme 9).

Additionally, dialkyl alkoxyphosphines may be reacted with alkyl halides or sulphonates (e.g., Hal=Br, I, Cl, OMs; Y=CR⁷R⁸) to form phosphine oxides via Michaelis-Arbuzov chemistry (Scheme 10).

Phosphonates may be alkylated on an alpha carbon by deprotonation with strong base of which tBuOK, nBuLi, NaH and LDA are non-limiting examples, then treatment with carbon electrophiles, e.g., MeI, DMF and chloroformates (Scheme 11) (R^(m) and/or R^(n) may be methyl). Control of the stoichiometry of the reaction components may afford mono- or di-alkylated products. Additionally, sequential use of base, electrophile #1, base and electrophile #2 is another means to effectively control dialkylation.

5-Substituted 2,4-diaminopyrimidine derivatives:

2,4-Di-aminopyrimidines may be synthesized through a number of approaches to afford target molecules of pharmacological interest. Below are non-limiting examples of the various approaches that one skilled in the art could utilize to realize target molecules and examples of the type disclosed in this document.

Commercially available 5-substituted-2,4-dichloropyrimidines (A) may be reacted directly with anilines or amines in SNAr reactions to afford mixtures of mono-substitution products Bi and Bii (Scheme 12). Depending on the conditions used and the nature of the aniline/amine and X group, a predominant isomer may be formed. In these situations or under conditions of minimal regioselectivity, the isomers may be separated (fully or partially) through the use of chromatography and/or crystallization. Assignment of structure to each pure isomer may be made through NMR experiments, in particular through the use of HMBC experiments which may disclose a 3 bond H—C correlation between the C4-NH and the C5-C in the case of the 4-substituted product, which is not evident in the C2-NH isomer. Alternatively, a mixture of regioisomers (Bi/Bii) may be reacted with a second aniline/amine to afford a mixture of products Ci/Cii, which may be separated using techniques such as preparative HPLC (MDP) to afford the pure isomers. Assignment of structure may be made by comparison of spectral data to those isomers made by the previous method described above or directly through NMR experimentation.

In addition to the SNAr displacements of the 2- and 4-chloro groups as indicated above, those skilled in the art will recognize that other groups may also serve as good leaving groups that may be displaced by amines and anilines under the appropriate conditions. Examples of displaceable groups include, but are not limited to alkylthio, alkylsulphonyl, bromo, trichloromethyl, fluoro, sulphonyloxy and N-benzotriazolyloxy, and in each case the 2- and 4-leaving groups may the same or different. Indeed in certain circumstances it may be preferred that the 2- and 4-displaceable groups are different as this offers the opportunity to take advantage of different leaving group potentials and so control the regiochemistry of the SNAr reaction.

Another approach to access 2-anilino, 4-anilino or 2,4-dianilino-pyrimidines involves transition metal catalyzed arylation of an aminopyrimidine. In a typical procedure, the 2- or 4-aminopyrimidine is heated with an aryl or heteroaryl bromide or iodide in the presence of copper (I) iodide, ethylenediamine ligand and potassium carbonate base in dioxane. Other commonly used reagents are Ph₂-pentadienone-Pd, NaOPh and XantPhos. Depending on the nature of the X group at the 5-position (corresponding to R1 in Formula 1) such reactions may be conducted on 2,4-diaminopyrimidines and some preference for one or other amino group observed. Ra may correspond to an amino group NH—X₂R of Formula 1 or precursor; Ar—Rb may correspond to a substituted phenyl group of Formula 1; Rc may correspond to an amino group of Formula 1 or precursor; Ar—Rd or HetAr—Rd may correspond to NH—X₂R of Formula 1or precursor.

In addition to refunctionalizing an activated pyrimidine system, one may also access desired derivatives through construction of the pyrimidine ring itself.

For example, reaction of an appropriately substituted guanidine with an appropriately substituted β-formyl ester, β-(dimethylamino)propenoate or β-(alkoxy)propenoate yields a hydroxy pyrimidine as indicated in the above scheme. Such hydroxypyrimidines may be chlorinated using reagents such as POCl₃ to form intermediates analogous to those described in scheme 17 (Bii). The Q′ substitution in the reactants could be the same as the final R1 group of Formula 1 (Q), or different as necessary to allow for the cyclization and/or halogenation chemistry to be successful. Where Q′ is different from R1, the interconversion of Q′ to R1 may be undertaken by the multiple methods known to the skilled artisan, a non-limiting list of which are described later in this document.

Other methods of accessing suitably functionalized pyrimidine derivatives includes modification of commercially available uracil or thiouracil. For example, S-methylation of thiouracil using iodomethane and base affords an intermediate that may be functionalized at the C5 position to introduce Q, or the precursor to Q, Q′. An example of such C5-functionalisation is halogenation using bromine in acetic acid, N-iodosuccinimide in DMF or N-chlorosuccinimide in acetic acid, which introduces a C5 bromo-, iodo or chloro group, respectively. Groups such as CF₃ may be introduced through reaction with CF₃I in the presence of FeSO₄, H₂O₂ and DMSO.

Similar C5 chemistries may also be used on uracil itself and the derivatives converted to the 4-chloro (for the thiouracil derivative) or 2,4-dichloropyrimidine derivatives through reaction with reagents such as POCl₃.

Functional Group Interconversion:

The various functionalities appearing in target molecules and examples (e.g., X at the 5-position of the pyrimidine system, or on the pendant N-aryl or N-benzyl groups), may be introduced through appropriate choice of starting materials, or where the final functionality is not available directly through this process, or where such functionality may be compromised during the subsequent chemistry to build the final molecule, alternative functionalities may be used and subsequently transformed into the final desired functionality by methods, and at points in the sequence, readily determined by one skilled in the art.

For example, a non-exhaustive list of such transformations includes the conversions: Ar/HetAr—OMe→Ar/HetAr—OH (BBr₃), Ar/HetAr—NH₂→Ar/HetAr—Cl (NaNO₂, CuCl), Ar/HetAr—Br→Ar/HetAr—CN (Pd₂(dba)₃, Zn(CN)₂, DPPF), Me→CO₂H (KMnO₄), CO₂H→CO₂Me (MeOH, H₂SO₄), OH→OAlkyl (Alkyl halide, base), CO₂H→CONR′R″ (EDC, HOAt, DIPEA, HNR′R″), Ar/HetAr—Br→Ar/HetAr—CO₂Me (Pd₂(dba)₃, DPPF, CO(g), MeOH), Br→CO₂H (^(t)BuLi, CO₂), Ar/HetAr—H→Ar/HetAr—Br (NBS), CN→CO₂H (conc. H₂SO₄), Ar/HetAr—Br→Ar/HetAr—NR′R″ (Pd₂(dba)₃, DPPF, HNR′R″), Ar/HetAr—I/Br→Ar/HetAr—CF₃ (CF₃CO₂Na, CuI, NMP). Other functional group interconversion (FGI) examples relating to the generation of aniline and benzylamine synthons used for SNAr chemistry with 2,4-dichloropyrimidines, or pyrimidines with other displaceable leaving groups, are shown below.

As shown in Scheme 16, nitro- or azidobenzenes may be reduced to the desired aniline compound under a range of conditions. Typically hydrogenation in the presence of a Pd/C catalyst in solvents such as methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate will yield the desired product. In the case of the azide reduction, Staudinger conditions with Ph₃P may be effectively used. Many aniline precursors are commercially available for conversion to the aniline itself. N-acyl derivatives such as amides may be hydrolyzed under acidic or basic conditions to provide the aniline. In the case of carbamates, e.g., tert-butoxycarbonyl (BOC) protected anilines, the acyl group may be removed with HCl in solvents such as dioxane or through use of TFA in DCM. FMOC protected anilines require basic conditions, typically piperidine in DMF to remove the acyl moiety.

When R is an electron withdrawing group and/or when the aromatic system is a π-deficient heterocycle, a fluoro (or other halogen or triflate), ideally conjugated to said fluoro, may be displaced under SNAr conditions with ammonia itself or an ammonia equivalent or precursor.

Aryl or heteroaryl halides and triflates may also be reacted under transition metal catalysis with ammonia equivalents or precursors to allow the introduction of nitrogen functionality. One skilled in the art will appreciate the large number of catalysts, ligands, bases and solvents cited in the extensive literature and which are commercially available for this conversion.

Benzylamines as synthons in the SNAr reaction with 2,4-dichloropyrimidines or pyrimidines with other displaceable 2- and 4-leaving groups, may also be prepared via a number of different approaches. Indicated in scheme 22 are some representative examples of some of the more common routes used. Primary amides may be reduced to the target benzylamines with reducing agents such as LiAlH₄ and borane complexes; aldehydes undergo reductive amination with ammonia equivalents in the presence of reducing agents such as NaCN(BH₃) and Na(OAc)₃BH; benzyl halides undergo typical SN2 displacements with ammonia equivalents or precursors, and benzonitriles may be reduced with a number of reducing agents of which Raney nickel and LiAlH₄ are non limiting examples.

Example synthesis of dialkyl (4-aminobenzyl)phosphonates from other dialkyl phosphonates:

Examples of dialkyl (4-aminobenzyl)phosphonates may be made according to Scheme 18. For example, commercially available diethyl (4-nitrobenzyl)phosphonate I may be hydrolyzed to the corresponding phosphonic acid II using concentrated hydrochloric acid. This acid may be converted to the phosphonic dichloride III with oxalyl chloride and reacted with alkyl alcohols to afford dialkyl phosphonates IV. The nitro group may be reduced by multiple methods including hydrogenation in the presence of a palladium catalyst to afford dialkyl (4-aminobenzyl)phosphonates V.

Palladium-catalyzed reactions of p- or m-bromonitrobenzene XI with diethyl phosphonate X affords diethyl 3- or 4-nitrophenylphosphonates XII. These phosphonates may be hydrolyzed into the corresponding phosphonic acids XIII with concentrated hydrochloric acid and then treated with thionyl chloride to yield phosphonic dichlorides XIV. Reaction of these dichlorides with alcohols affords dialkyl 3- or 4-nitrophenyl phosphonate esters XV which maybe reduced into the corresponding anilines XVI by hydrogenation.

Example synthesis of alkyl (3- and 4-aminobenzyl)alkylphosphinates via Michaelis-Arbuzov chemistry:

Examples of alkyl phosphinate intermediates may be made according to Scheme 21 using Michaelis-Arbuzov chemistry. For example, p- or m-nitrobenzylbromides XVIII may be heated with neat diethoxymethylphosphine XVII (i.e. R=Et, R_(W)=Me) to afford ethyl methyl(4- or 3-nitrobenzyl)phosphinate XIX. The resulting nitro materials may be reduced by a variety of methods including hydrogenation in the presence of a palladium catalyst to afford the appropriate aminobenzylphosphinates XX, in this case ethyl (3- or 4-aminobenzyl)methylphosphinate.

Example Synthesis of Alkyl Hydrogen Phosphonates and Phosphonic Acids Via Hydrolysis of Dialkyl Phosphonates:

As shown in Scheme 22, alkyl hydrogen phosphonates XXI and phosphonic acids XXII may be synthesized from the corresponding diethyl phosphonates by hydrolysis with concentrated hydrochloric acid. Stopping the reaction before complete hydrolysis occurs allows the isolation of both the alkyl hydrogen phosphonate and the phosphonic acid through chromatographic techniques such as preparative HPLC.

Example synthesis of dialkyl (3- and 4-aminobenzyl)phosphine oxides via Michaelis-Arbuzov chemistry:

Dialkyl benzylphosphine oxides may be prepared according to Scheme 23 by reaction of a dialkylphosphinous chloride XXIII, e.g., chlorodimethylphosphine with an alkoxide, e.g., sodium ethoxide, to form an intermediate alkyl dialkylphosphinite XXIV, in this example ethyl dimethylphosphinite. This intermediate phosphinite may be reacted without isolation or purification with a benzyl halide e.g. 3- or 4-nitrobenzylbromide XVIII under elevated temperatures utilizing Michaelis-Arbuzov chemistry to afford the desired dialkyl benzylphosphine oxides XXV, in this case dimethyl(3- or 4-nitrobenzyl)phosphine oxide. The nitro group of this example may be reduced using a variety of conditions, for example hydrogenation in the presence of a palladium on charcoal catalyst to afford dialkyl (3- and 4-aminobenzyl)phosphine oxides XXVI.

Example synthesis of dialkyl (3- and 4-aminophenyl)phosphine oxides via Pd(0) mediated coupling chemistry:

Dialkyl (3- and 4-aminophenyl)phosphine oxides may be prepared as indicated in Scheme 24. Reaction of diethyl phosphonate XXVII with an alkyl magnesium bromide (e.g., methyl magnesium bromide) at 0° C. to rt affords a dialkylphosphine oxide XXVIII (e.g., dimethylphosphine oxide) which may undergo palladium-catalyzed coupling with 3- or 4-nitroiodobenzene XXIX to yield dialkyl 3- or 4-nitrophenylphosphine oxide XXX (e.g. dimethyl 3- or 4-nitrophenylphosphine oxide). The nitro group may be reduced by multiple methods including catalytic hydrogenation to afford the desired aniline intermediates XXXI.

Example Synthesis of the Dialkylation of Dialkyl Benzylphosphonates:

Dialkyl benzylphosphonates such as diethyl (4-nitrobenzyl)phosphonate I, may be monoalkylated at the benzylic carbon by reaction with strong base, of which LDA is a non-limiting example, followed by introduction of a suitable alkyl halide such as iodomethane. The monoalkylated product thus formed XXXII may be alkylated a second time at the benzylic carbon through deprotonation with sodium hydride and reaction with an alkyl halide such as iodomethane to yield derivatives XXXIII. In the instance shown in the scheme, the nitro-derived products may be reduced to the corresponding anilines XXXIV and XXXV via methods such as catalytic hydrogenation.

Amino lactam derivatives may be prepared according to Scheme 26. Methyl 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoate may be brominated at the benzylic position with NBS to afford derivative XXXVI. This ester may be cyclized with methylamine to yield the nitro lactam XXXVII which may be reduced to the aniline derivative XXXVIII. Bromination of XXXVIII at low temperature affords 7-amino-4-bromo-2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-1-one XXXIX. This material may be reacted with 4-chloropyrimidine derivatives and then subjected to chemistries known to those skilled in the art that convert the bromo functionality into other groups of utility of which alkoxy, alkyl, aryl, hetaryl, heterocyclyl and cycloalkyl are non-limiting examples.

Scheme 27

Access to diverse compounds of the invention, via precursors corresponding to R of Formula 1 can be according to the methods shown below, wherein non-limiting instances of R can be:

The starting intermediate can be any bromo aryl or heteroaryl precursor of R which can be attached to a pyrimidine core at any stage as described herein via an amine. The generic fused ring represents an optional optionally substituted ring or other substituent as described above for R.

Reaction 1 of Scheme 27 depicts a palladium cross coupling to any aryl or heteroaryl group (Ar₁) under Suzuki conditions with and appropriate borane or boronate, such as described in Example 63 and other examples herein, or any suitable variation thereof.

Reactions 2, 3, and 10 also depict Pd couplings used to achieve further diversity in different cyclic substituents. The starting bromo compound can be treated as in reaction 2 with an appropriately functionalized cyclic boronate as in Cpd. 232F. In appropriate cases, the resulting compound can be reduced such as by hydrogenation, as in Cpd. 232E. Alternatively, the functionality of the reagents can be reversed as in reactions 3 and 10, exemplified in Cpd. 205E. R′ and R″ represent any substituents as contemplated herein.

The boronate product of reaction 3 can be functionalized as in reaction 4, under conditions such as in Ex. 205 by treating with KHF₂, followed by and alkylation.

According to reactions 5-7, amino alkyl and amide functionality can be introduced into the group R. As described in Cpd. 109E, an appropriate aryl bromide can be coupled with phenethyl boronic acid, followed by reductive amination or amide coupling, as in Exs. 116 and 117.

Modification such as according to reaction 8 can be used to introduce an unsaturated alkyne spacer for a functional group, as in Exs. 75-77, via Pd mediated coupling with an alkyne.

Further, the bromine can be replaced with an amine as in, e.g., Exs. 199 and 208. Of course, the skilled artisan will understand that the chemistry is general and that examples are not limiting.

Biochemical HTRF (FRET) Assay Protocol

The ability of compounds to inhibit the kinase activity of recombinant FAK enzyme was determined by a HTRF (FRET) assay using Biotinylated PGT (B*PGT) as a peptide substrate. The assay determines the ability of compounds to inhibit phosphorylation of PGT by recombinant FAK enzyme in the presence of ATP at RT. The reaction is stopped after 1 h and phosphotyrosine content of Biotin*PGT is measured using anti-phosphotyrosine specific Mab label with Eu3+-cryptate (Cisbio) and XL665 labeled streptavidin (Cisbio) by Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF) method.

The Stock Reagents used are as follows:

Kinase Reaction Buffer: 75 mM HEPES, pH 7.4 (Gibco); 19 mM MgC12 (Sigma M1028); 0.938 mM MnCl2 (Sigma M1787); 1.5% Glycerol; 1.5 mM DTT (add fresh).

Enzyme Buffer Reaction Buffer plus 0.03% BSA.

Development Buffer: 1 part 200 mM EDTA/50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4; 2 parts 1M KF; 0.07% BSA.

Other Reagents: Biotinylated PGT (Cisbio, Cat #61GTOBLD), 0.5 mg/mL in 50% DMSO; FAK (PTK2) enzyme (Invitrogen PV4085); Potassium Fluoride (VWR VW3456-1); ATP (10 mM stock); DTT (1M stock); 10% BSA; PT-66 Cryptate (Cisbio, Cat #61T66KLB); XL-665 conjugated Streptavidin (Cisbio Cat #611SAXLB).

Materials: 384 well white ProxiPlate (Perkin Elmer, Cat #6006280).

Assay Protocol: The compounds were serially diluted from 10 uM to 5 pM (1:5 dil, 10 points) in kinase buffer (1×) containing 3% DMSO and added 5 uL to each well of a 384-well plate except negative and positive control wells. Only DMSO was added to positive and negative control wells. For negative control wells, no ATP was added but only 5 uL of B*PGT was added. B*PGT (final conc 7.5 ng/well) and ATP (final conc 100 uM) was added in 5 uL to all wells except negative control wells. Reaction was started by adding FAK enzyme (final conc 0.2 ng/well) in 5 ul of enzyme buffer per well and incubated at RT for 1 h. Phospho-tyrosine content of B*BGT was detected by adding PT66-Cryptate (1:100 dil) and XL665 conjugated streptavidin (1:100 dil) to each well in 7.5 uL development buffer and incubating for 1 h at RT. The plate was read on Victor machine

Comparison of the assay signals obtained in the presence of compound with those of positive and negative controls, allows the degree of inhibition of phosphorylation of PGT to be determined over a range of compound concentrations. These inhibition values are fitted to a sigmoidal dose-response inhibition curve to determine the IC50 values (i.e. the concentration of the compound that inhibits phosphorylation of PGT by 50%).

Biochemical Omnia Assay Protocol

The Omnia Assay (Invitrogen) has been optimized for GST-tagged full-length FAK enzyme (PTK2, Invitrogen PV4085). In this assay system, Omnia Y Peptide 3 (Invitrogen KNZ3031) functions as a substrate for FAK. Phosphorylation of this SOX-containing peptide by FAK results in an increase in fluorescence at 485 nm upon excitation at 360 nm. Assays were carried out in 384-well OptiPlates (Perkin Elmer 6007290) in a total volume of 20 μL containing FAK (25 nM), Omnia Y Peptide 3 (10 μM), ATP (50 μM), and test compound (variable) in assay buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl₂, 0.15 mM MnCl₂, 1% glycerol, 1 mM DTT, 1 mM EGTA, 0.01% BSA) with 1% DMSO.

IC₅₀s for test compounds were typically determined using an 11-point three-fold serial dilution with a final assay concentration ranging from 0.17 nM to 10 μM. All compound concentrations were assayed in duplicate. Initial compound dilutions were prepared at 100× concentration in 100% DMSO from a 10 mM stock solution. Compounds were further diluted 1:25 in assay buffer resulting in a 4× concentrated solution.

In running the assay, 5 μL of the above 4× concentrated compound solution (or 4% DMSO for positive controls) was added to the assay plate followed by 5 μL of a solution containing peptide (40 μM) and ATP (200 μM) in assay buffer. The reaction was initiated by the addition of 10 μL of FAK (50 nM) in assay buffer, or assay buffer alone for negative controls. The increase in fluorescence due to peptide phosphorylation was monitored continuously as a function of time using a Spectramax M5 plate reader (Molecular Devices) equipped with SoftMax Pro 5.2 software.

IC₅₀ values were determined from the slopes of the linear progress curves by non-linear curve-fitting using Graph Pad Prism 5 (GraphPad Software, Inc.). IC₅₀'s were determined in duplicate (n=2).

Cell-Based Assays for Inhibition of FAK Autophosphorylation: MiaPaCa2 and U87MG

The ability of compounds to inhibit FAK autophosphorylation was determined in a cell-based capture ELISA assay using MiaPaCa2 pancreatic cancer cells (ATCC, Cat # CRL-1420) and the FAK [pY397] ELISA kit from Invitrogen (KHO0441). The assay determines the ability of compounds to block endogenous autophosphorylation of FAK stimulated by fibronectin. Cells plated on fibronectin coated 96-well plate were incubated with compounds at various concentrations in the complete growth medium for 2 h. Cell lysates were then prepared and FAK protein was captured onto a FAK antibody-coated 96-well ELISA plate. The phosphotyrosine content of FAK protein was then monitored by quantitation of degree of binding of an antibody that recognizes only the phosphorylated FAK at Y397 within the captured protein. The antibody used has a reporter enzyme (e.g. horse radish peroxidase, HRP) covalently attached, such that binding to phosphorylated FAK can be determined quantitatively by incubation with an appropriate HRP substrate.

Cells were then plated onto fibronectin (600 ng/well)-coated 96-well flat bottom plates at 4×10⁵ cells per well in 60 uL cell growth medium and incubated overnight at 37° C. in a CO₂ incubator.

Compound dilutions were prepared from 10 mM DMSO stocks by dilution in cell growth medium, the final concentration of DMSO in the assay being 1%. To compound incubation wells, 60 uL of test compound was added as 2× concentration (compounds were assayed at concentrations between 10 μM to 3 nM); to positive control wells, 60 μL of cell assay medium containing 2% DMSO was added. The cells were then incubated with compounds at 37° C. for 2 h. The medium was removed by aspiration and cells were lysed by addition of 20 uL of ice-cold cell lysis buffer per well. The plates were kept on ice for 20 min and 35 uL of standard diluent was added to each well. 50 uL of cell lysate from each well was transferred to respective wells in an assay plate and 50 uL of detection antibody was added to all wells except H1-H6 which were no antibody control wells. Capture assay plates were incubated overnight in a cold room.

Following incubation of the cell lysates and detection antibodies in the ELISA plate, the wells were washed 4 times with 120 uL of wash buffer (1×), then 100 uL of diluted HRP conjugated antibody (1:100 dil in diluent) was added to each well, and the plate was incubated at RT for 30 min. The wells were then washed for 4 times with 120 uL of wash buffer (1×) and 100 uL of chromogen was added to each well and incubated in the dark at RT for 20-30 min. 10 uL of stop solution was added to each well and the absorbance measured at 450 nm.

Comparison of the assay signals obtained in the presence of compound with those of positive and negative controls (cells with no compound and no detection antibody being added), allows degree of inhibition of phospho-FAK [Y397] to be determined over a range of compound concentrations. These inhibition vales were fitted to a sigmoidal dose-response inhibition curve to determine the IC₅₀ values (i.e. the concentration of the compound that inhibits phosphorylation of FAK by 50%). The assay as described above was modified to determine the effect of inclusion of 50% (v/v) mouse or human plasma. In this assay, the compound plate was prepared as 2× concentration in 100 uL of 100% mouse or human plasma, and 60 uL of this was added to 60 uL of culture medium and incubated at 37° C. incubator for 2 h. The rest of the assay was carried out as described above.

Compositions

The invention includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof of the invention, which is formulated for a desired mode of administration with or without one or more pharmaceutically acceptable and useful carriers. The compounds can also be included in pharmaceutical compositions in combination with one or more other therapeutically active compounds.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention comprise a compound of the invention (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) as an active ingredient, optional pharmaceutically acceptable carrier(s) and optionally other therapeutic ingredients or adjuvants. The compositions include compositions suitable for oral, rectal, topical, and parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous) administration, although the most suitable route in any given case will depend on the particular host, and nature and severity of the conditions for which the active ingredient is being administered. The pharmaceutical compositions can be conveniently presented in unit dosage form and prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy.

Compounds of the invention can be combined as the active ingredient in intimate admixture with a pharmaceutical carrier according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. The carrier can take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration, e.g., oral or parenteral (including intravenous). Thus, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be presented as discrete units suitable for oral administration such as capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient. Further, the compositions can be presented as a powder, as granules, as a solution, as a suspension in an aqueous liquid, as a non-aqueous liquid, as an oil-in-water emulsion, or as a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. In addition to the common dosage forms set out above, the compound represented by Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can also be administered by controlled release means and/or delivery devices. The compositions can be prepared by any of the methods of pharmacy. In general, such methods include a step of bringing into association the active ingredient with the carrier that constitutes one or more necessary ingredients. In general, the compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both. The product can then be conveniently shaped into the desired presentation.

The pharmaceutical carrier employed can be, for example, a solid, liquid, or gas. Examples of solid carriers include lactose, terra alba, sucrose, talc, gelatin, agar, pectin, acacia, magnesium stearate, and stearic acid. Examples of liquid carriers are sugar syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, and water. Examples of gaseous carriers include carbon dioxide and nitrogen.

A tablet containing the composition of this invention can be prepared by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients or adjuvants. Compressed tablets can be prepared by compressing, in a suitable machine, the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, surface active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets can be made by molding in a suitable machine, a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. Each tablet preferably contains from about 0.05 mg to about 5 g of the active ingredient and each cachet or capsule preferably containing from about 0.05 mg to about 5 g of the active ingredient.

A formulation intended for the oral administration to humans may contain from about 0.5 mg to about 5 g of active agent, compounded with an appropriate and convenient amount of carrier material which may vary from about 5 to about 95 percent of the total composition. Unit dosage forms will generally contain between from about 1 mg to about 2 g of the active ingredient, typically 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, 400 mg, 500 mg, 600 mg, 800 mg, or 1000 mg.

Compounds of the invention can be provided for formulation at high purity, for example at least about 90%, 95%, or 98% pure by weight.

Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention suitable for parenteral administration may be prepared as solutions or suspensions of the active compounds in water. A suitable surfactant can be included such as, for example, hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof in oils. Further, a preservative can be included to prevent the detrimental growth of microorganisms.

Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions. Furthermore, the compositions can be in the form of sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of such sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the final injectable form must be sterile and must be effectively fluid for easy syringability. The pharmaceutical compositions must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage; thus, preferably should be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol), vegetable oils, and suitable mixtures thereof.

Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be in a form suitable for topical use such as, for example, an aerosol, cream, ointment, lotion, dusting powder, or the like. Further, the compositions can be in a form suitable for use in transdermal devices. These formulations may be prepared, utilizing a compound represented by Formula I of this invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, via conventional processing methods. As an example, a cream or ointment is prepared by admixing hydrophilic material and water, together with about 5 wt % to about 10 wt % of the compound, to produce a cream or ointment having a desired consistency.

Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be in a form suitable for rectal administration wherein the carrier is a solid. It is preferable that the mixture forms unit dose suppositories. Suitable carriers include cocoa butter and other materials commonly used in the art. The suppositories may be conveniently formed by first admixing the composition with the softened or melted carrier(s) followed by chilling and shaping in molds.

In addition to the aforementioned carrier ingredients, the pharmaceutical formulations described above may include, as appropriate, one or more additional carrier ingredients such as diluents, buffers, flavoring agents, binders, surface-active agents, thickeners, lubricants, preservatives (including anti-oxidants) and the like. Furthermore, other adjuvants can be included to render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient. Compositions containing a compound described by Formula I, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, may also be prepared in powder or liquid concentrate form.

Any section headings or subheadings herein are for the reader's convenience and/or formal compliance and are non-limiting.

A recitation of a compound herein is open to and embraces any material or composition containing the recited compound (e.g., a composition containing a racemic mixture, tautomers, epimers, stereoisomers, impure mixtures, etc.). In that a salt, solvate, or hydrate, polymorph, or other complex of a compound includes the compound itself, a recitation of a compound embraces materials containing such forms. Isotopically labeled compounds are also encompassed except where specifically excluded. For example, hydrogen is not limited to hydrogen containing zero neutrons.

The term “active agent” of the invention means a compound of the invention in any salt, polymorph, crystal, solvate, or hydrated form.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt(s)” is known in the art and includes salts of acidic or basic groups which can be present in the compounds and prepared or resulting from pharmaceutically acceptable bases or acids.

The term “substituted” and substitutions contained in formulas herein refer to the replacement of one or more hydrogen radicals in a given structure with a specified radical, or, if not specified, to the replacement with any chemically feasible radical. When more than one position in a given structure can be substituted with more than one substituent selected from specified groups, the substituents can be either the same or different at every position (independently selected) unless otherwise indicated. In some cases, two positions in a given structure can be substituted with one shared substituent. It is understood that chemically impossible or highly unstable configurations are not desired or intended, as the skilled artisan would appreciate.

In descriptions and claims where subject matter (e.g., substitution at a given molecular position) is recited as being selected from a group of possibilities, the recitation is specifically intended to include any subset of the recited group. In the case of multiple variable positions or substituents, any combination of group or variable subsets is also contemplated.

Unless indicated otherwise, a substituent, diradical or other group referred to herein can be bonded through any suitable position to a referenced subject molecule. For example, the term “indolyl” includes 1-indolyl, 2-indolyl, 3-indolyl, etc.

The convention for describing the carbon content of certain moieties is “(C_(a-b))” or “C_(a) C_(b)” meaning that the moiety can contain any number of from “a” to “b” carbon atoms. C₀alkyl means a single covalent chemical bond when it is a connecting moiety, and a hydrogen when it is a terminal moiety. Similarly, “x-y” can indicate a moiety containing from x to y atoms, e.g., ₅₋₆heterocycloalkyl means a heterocycloalkyl having either five or six ring members. “C_(x-y)” may be used to define number of carbons in a group. For example, “C₀₋₁₂alkyl” means alkyl having 0-12 carbons, wherein C₀alkyl means a single covalent chemical bond when a linking group and means hydrogen when a terminal group.

The term “absent,” as used herein to describe a structural variable (e.g., “—R— is absent”) means that diradical R has no atoms, and merely represents a bond between other adjoining atoms, unless otherwise indicated.

Unless otherwise indicated (such as by a connecting “-”), the connections of compound name moieties are at the rightmost recited moiety. That is, the substituent name starts with a terminal moiety, continues with any bridging moieties, and ends with the connecting moiety. For example, “heteroarylthioC₁₋₄alkyl is a heteroaryl group connected through a thio sulfur to a C₁₋₄ alkyl, which alkyl connects to the chemical species bearing the substituent.
